Step 9 – Place the lollipop and stick on the solid block, tucking the stick under the Lollipop. I measured 3/4″ from the top and 3/4″ from the bottom of the block. Iron the stick and Lollipop onto the block. Use you favourite technique to applique the Lollipop to the block. I machine appliqued the Lollipop with a neutral thread.

There are many ways to applique – needle turn, fusible web – raw edge, machine applique or hand appliqued. It is really up to how you want the finished quilt to look – formal or naive.

I like to use a short stitch (2.5) and open my seams. If tension is correct, there should be no pulling apart of seams. Applying moderately dense quilting also helps to take the pressure off the seams.

Step 11 – Lay out the blocks like diagram below. Sew the blocks together to form rows and then join the rows

Step 12 – Layer the backing, batting, and quilt top. Quilt as desired. I used Perle 8 cottons and stitched around the Lollipops.

Step 13 – Cut four (4) x 2 1/4″ strips from the width of fabric (WOF) to make binding. Attach binding to quilt.

Voila – You have completed the quilt! Now add a label, photograph it and give it to someone you love.

Jane started quilting over 20 years ago by designing and hand piecing a queen sized quilt. Caught up in study and travel, it was not until 2010 did she rekindle her passion for quilting again.“I love everything about quilting and the quilting industry. I am so inspired by the enthusiasm and creativity I see everyday”.A scientist at heart, Jane loves the engineering behind the quilt making process – the planning, the fabric selection, the designing and construction, and of course the quilting. She is always ready to challenge her skills when designing a new block or quilt.These days you can find Jane in her studio running a professional long-arm quilting service, teaching, designing and planning her next publication.
